Gang of shoplifters rip off Macy's at Plaza Bonita

NATIONAL CITY (CBS 8) - Police are asking for the public's help in catching several thieves who stole thousands of dollars in merchandise from a local Macy's department store.

It happened at Plaza Bonita at about 8 p.m. Wednesday. According to investigators, three Latino or Asian men in their early 20s entered the store and ran off with about $5,000 worth of merchandise from the women's department.

The men then fled the scene in a gray Honda. Police say the suspects didn't appear to be carrying weapons.

In this News 8 video report, Angelique Lizarde has more on how police don't think this is the first time the thieves have hit.

Two former top administrators in the San Ysidro School District cashed out nearly $178,000 in vacation and leave days during the approximately two years they worked there, according to payroll records obtained by inewsource. The amount of vacation days appears to be far more than either could have earned under their contracts.
